Unreleased Records

record label avant-garde electronic house

Unreleased Records is the label Arodes runs. the label's own SoundCloud puts it in two lines: "Unreleased is a label and event series founded by Arodes in 2022. With a sound rooted in avant-garde electronic house, it has quickly become a home for music that connects deeply on the dance floor and beyond." Armada's media kit tells the start differently: "In 2024, Arodes expanded his influence within the industry by founding his own record label, Unreleased Records, which operates alongside his event brand Unreleased." so the label's own count says 2022 and Armada's says 2024, and the two sit as printed. the way it reads, the party came first in 2022 and the records from 2024. the first one landed on 12 april 2024, and Electronic Groove wrote that "The debut release is a collaboration with Andrea Oliva and Moeaike, titled 'Stronger than Before'." Music Week has Arodes as Spanish, real name Adrian Rodriguez. no source names a base for the label, so we don't either.

since september 2024 the label runs with Armada Music. Music Week reported the partnership on 13 september 2024, with Armada working with Arodes "on A&R, label management, distribution and the promotion and marketing of upcoming releases on Unreleased", and Apple Music's copyright line on Game Changers reads "℗ 2025 Armada Music B.V. under exclusive license from Unreleased Records". which brings us to the series. Game Changers is the label's compilation line for emerging artists, and Beatportal ties it to the label's events. Vol. 1 came out on 14 march 2025, Deezer has Game Changers 3 on 23 january 2026, and Game Changers 4 (Extended Versions) is among Beatport's newest, with Arodes, LAZARE, Mahoo (CH), MAARVN, Ary Sya, Fonsa, Aleno, Patmogh, AZARRO, Becheranō, Omawav, ACNOR and Way of Thinking on it. the newest record is Arodes' own "Kaleido", out 23 october 2026. the party side is the Unreleased event series, which the label's own SoundCloud folds into the same line as the label.

a note on the names. CamelPhat is here as a remixer, on Arodes' "Kidz" (24 january 2025), and Raul Vidal on a Game Changers compilation, "She's Another World" on Game Changers 3 (23 january 2026). the rest are on their own releases or collaborations, from Samm (BE) "By My Side" (3 may 2024), Luch "Barely Open" (april 2025), JUNO (DE) "The Trap" (2025), Peace Control "Stay With Me" (august 2025) and HotLap "Get Enough" (24 october 2025), through Amour Propre "Rituel" with Victor Flash (9 january 2026), Super Flu "Don't Mind" (13 february 2026), Mahmut Orhan "Gaia" (6 march 2026) and Mahoo (CH) "Circles" (14 august 2026), to Humans Musik and Talón sharing "Imagine" (2 october 2026). 13 artists we track have released on it, a confirmed floor from a catalogue sweep, not the full roster: Amour Propre, CamelPhat, HotLap, Humans Musik, JUNO (DE), Luch, Mahmut Orhan, Mahoo (CH), Peace Control, Raul Vidal, Samm (BE), Super Flu, Talón
